Iran, Nov. 14, 2018 – On Wednesday, Iranian teachers in numerous cities began the second continuous day of their nationwide strike. The strikes began yesterday in protest to the deteriorating living conditions, suppression of teachers, high inflation rates and declining purchasing power of Iranian consumers. The teachers are also demanding that the regime stops discrimination against working and retired teachers.
The Iranian regime has arrested and incarcerated several teachers for standing up to their rights. The strike follows several similar strikes by teachers in the past months and is happening against the backdrop of nationwide protests and strikes by different classes of the Iranian society that have been ongoing since the beginning of the year.
